Waterworld’s 2015 Advert<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A water park which banned men and unIslamic clothing at a \u2018Muslim sisters only’ event in August 2015 is staging a similar event this year. \u00a0But a ‘burkini’ event in France planned for September has just been cancelled. \u00a0(see below)<\/p>\n

PRAYER AREA IN 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

The park, Water World in Stoke-on-Trent, promised a \u2018designated prayer area’ and blacked-out windows with only female staff on duty on 9th August 2015.<\/p>\n

In a statement on its Facebook page, a spokesman for WaterWorld said the Muslim Sisters Only event would \u2018attract ladies of all religions\/beliefs as we invite you to visit our facility and enjoy its features whilst having the option of wearing attire that our normal operating procedures prevent’.<\/p>\n

‘AMAZING DAY AFTER EID’ IN 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

But a similar event two years ago advertised on Facebook<\/a><\/strong> said \u2018Saturday 2nd August 2014 in-shaa-Allah Have an Amazing day after Eid with your family or friends at Waterworld.’ A coach was laid on from Birmingham for the \u2018Muslim Sisters Only’ event priced at \u00a312.99.<\/p>\n

SPLASH FOR GAZA<\/strong><\/p>\n

And on Saturday 7th May this year, Waterworld staged a \u2018Splash for Gaza – Sisters Only<\/a>‘. \u00a0<\/strong>It isn’t known if this was intended to raise funds for terrorist group Hamas.<\/p>\n

This year, 2016, the summer event is being held on Saturday 27th August. The price has risen to \u00a315.00. \u00a0That’s inflation for you.<\/p>\n

WaterWorld owner Mo Chaudry said: \u2018I’m astonished that we have been targeted. We feel we’ve been victimised for offering something that we feel there is a demand for.’<\/p>\n

‘LAZY JOURNALISM’<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Facebook post dated 14th June 2016<\/a><\/strong>, a year to the day after the Sunday Express broke the story in 2015<\/a><\/strong>, said: \u2018Here at Water World we want to reassure people that we do not ban any type of swimwear or people from our premises. We are a friendly and welcoming Aqua Park that accepts all cultures and religions.<\/p>\n

\"'Burkini'<\/a>
‘Burkini’ – appropriate Islamic dress<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

‘Anything that has been reported in the press or circulated around social media is totally false information and lazy journalism.’<\/p>\n

All references to the \u2018Sisters Only’ event had been erased. Nor is there any reference to the event on the waterworld.co.uk<\/a><\/strong> website, not even under \u2018Special Events’. You will only find it on Muslim websites, like localmuslimevents.com<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

FRENCH BURKINI EVENT CANCELLED<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s not just the UK. A waterpark near the French city of Marseille was booked by Muslim women for 10th September to wear \u2018burkinis’.<\/p>\n

The event was cancelled by the French waterpark today<\/a><\/strong>. They said the decision had been taken to preserve public order which was being endangered by ‘extreme ideological positions’.<\/p>\n

The \u2018burkini day’ was criticised by conservative politicians who argued it contravened ‘legally-enshrined secular values’.<\/p>\n

The United Kingdom has a constitution, expressed in the Coronation Oath, with\u00a0legally-enshrined Christian values. \u00a0It is because politicians in our land have failed to uphold those standards and the church has failed to hold them to account that Islam is advancing. \u00a0It is time\u00a0for our nation, post-Brexit, to repent and seek the Lord.<\/p>\n

Deuteronomy 28:47 Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; 48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee. 49 The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand; 50 A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young: 51 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It isn’t a nation coming in judgment, it is a faith, but the results will be the same, until we honour the Lord again in this United Kingdom. \u00a0Christian men in particular need to stand up now for King Jesus:<\/p>\n
